Telly fave Paddy, 45, recently opened up about the challenges of bringing up kids with autism.

“With autism you can feel as though you’re on your own, the world is against you,” he told the Mirror. “You’re like, ‘God, everyone else has got it easy’. There’s lots of things we can’t do – we can’t even go on a family holiday together.”

“But when you start speaking about it, other people get in touch and say, ‘I thought it was just me, I’m in that position too’,” he added.
